3. Make a braille dot tape by use of common braille print
software
If the following conditions are met by common braille print software, you can
make braille dot tape by transmission of braille text into BL-1000 LINK.
3.1 Requisite Conditions of Communication port
Both Bluetooth port and USB (VCP: Virtual communication port) need following
conditions.
BaudRate: 9600bps
Data length: 8 bits
Stop bits: One bit
Parity: None
Handshake: Software (XOn/XOff)
* Confirm Number of Virtual Communication Port in Device Manager in Windows.
* If you don’t use the way of Hand-Shake, turn down the quantity of transmisson
byte under 500 byte per one time in order to prevent text from lack of it.
3.2 Braille Code
BL-1000 LINK can receive the text by the braille code of NABCC (6 dots).
NABCC is standard Braille code, and you can use BL-1000 LINK if the settings
in Braille Printer has option of “Generic” and so on.
However if Escape sequence is included inside the data, BL-1000 LINK can’t print
braille dots properly.
Code to start a new paragraph and to new page
BL-1000 LINK doesn’t start a new paragraph or page at regular columns
automatically, since it is designed for making braille dot tape in one line by
flexible length.
Send surely code of new paragraph and or page at the end of one line of tape.
When BL-1000 LINK receives any one code in the followings, it recognizes it is
the end of one line.
